Writing HTML content into MS WORD using JAVA?

Question

I am developing an Exam Software in which I have used Subscript and superscript. so I have to store the Questions in HTML in the Database, Now i want to write those questions with HTML tags to the word, I tried Using Apache POI Library, here is the sample text :

  <html>
  <head> </head>
  <body><font face="Shruti"> MY QUESTION </font>
  </body>
  </html>

but when I am trying to write text in word Document using apache poi , it is showing the HTML tags

Are you trying to set explicit formatting rules in POI, or are you just blindly writing HTML tags into a word file and looking confused when they rather unsurprisingly turn up in the resultant file? — Gagravarr

You can add your HTML as an AltChunk, and have Word convert it to native docx content when the file is first opened.

If you need to convert to native docx content in Java, you can use docx4j-ImportXHTML

Disclosure: I manage that repo.

I guess you did not get my Question or May be i was not able to Describe it properly, I am not converting an HTML into DOC or a DOC into HTML, In my application content type of the text pane is html so i am getting value in the html format, i want to write the same into the without HTML tags

Isn't that a simple case of converting HTML to DOC? If you want to write it yourself from scratch, there are 2 parts to your problem. First, parsing the HTML to get the text. You might look at a 'tidy' program, then SAX or DOM parsing. Second, converting that text to docx/doc/rtf format. Presumably you'll want to differentiate between block and inline content. What about tables, images, lists?
